SPORTS. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, APRIL 21, 1940—PART FOUR. SPORTS. E-5 Pictor’s Derby Stock Soars With Win in Chesapeake as Andy K Runs Third Millsdale Stable Ace Near Outside Rail At Every Turn Royal Man Takes Second; Don Orlan, County Cork Pay $535 in Double @pecial Dispatch to The Star, HAVRE DE GRACE, Md., April 20 —William M. Brann of Glade Val- ley Farm near Frederick, Md., who missed last year's Kentucky Derby due to Johnstown beating his Chak ledon, has another worthy candidate for the $75.000 Blue Grass classic on May 4, in Pictor, a bay son of Chal- lenger 2d and Lady Legend, win- ner of the 21st running of the Chesa- peake Stakes today. ‘The 10,000 fans who braved an all- day rain, saw Pictor under Georgie ‘Woolf's skillful handling, race the distance through fetlock deep slop in 1:53 to win by two lengths from the Tower Stable's Royal Man. Another length away came the Millsdale Stable’s Andy K. fa- vorite. The latter raced almost to the outside fence at every turn, which cost him whatever chance he had of earning the $12,800 first money. Louis Schaefer of ‘Washington, who trains the Brann string, said after the race that Pictor would re- ceive several days’ rest, following which he would be shipped to Churchill Downs for his Derby en- gagement. Pictor Clings to Rail. Starter Jim Milton sent the field of six away in alignment. Almost as soon as he took a stride Andy K. started running out. This en- abled Pictoy on the rail to be first around the clubhouse bend. Pictor, clinging to the rail, while Ralph Neves was using his whip freely to keep Andy K. from going to the outside fence, opened a two- length lead as the field swting down the back lane. Woolf let Pictor do his best to the half-mile pole where he started giving the ultimate winner a breather. Fenelon and Andy K. to move with- “in a half length lead of the Brann horse. Andy K., on the outside, rushed on by Fenelon and then Royal Man to be lapped on Pictor entering the home stretch. However, Andy K. tossed away his chance for victory by dashing toward the outside fence. In the meantime, Pictor still was running straight and true on the inner rail. He was doing his best the final eighth to have a two- length lead over Royal Man. Straightened out, Andy K. came again to nose out Fenelon for the show money. Daily Double Pays $535.30. Pictor paid $7.90. It was his second victory in as many starts since being brought from winter quarters at Columbia, S. C. Judg- ing by the manner in which he im- proves with each start, he has an excellent chance of whipping Ed- ward Riley Bradley’'s Bimelech, favorite in the forthcoming renewal of the Derby. A new daily double record for the meeting of $535.30 was posted when Don Orlan, property of Mrs. J. L. Furr of Washington, won the 41/,-furlong opener with Mrs. Vaughn Flannery's County Cork, a first-time starter, snaring the 6 furlongs of the second. Despite the big payoff, 3¢ men and women | heid tickets on the 9-2 combination. | The three quarters of the third saw Mrs. Kenny Holmes’ Red Foot | lead from barrier to wire to pay $22.00. John A. Manfuso’s Affair brought Joy to the many Washingtonians in the crowd when he came from well off the pace to win the three-quar- ters of the fourth. He paid $5.40.

Flight Command Runs Second |Roman Gallops Away As Parasang Makes Show Of Derby Candidates By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 20 —Parasang, lightly regarded 3-year-old from C. V. Whitney’s stable, outran his noted stablemate, Flight Command, over the sloppy Jamaica track to win the first running of the $5,000 added Experimental Handicap. The Whitney entry, favored at $5.70 for $2 by the bettors in the - | small crowd, finished one-two, four lengths apart, in the 6-furlong race. Mrs. H. C. Phipps’ Merry Knight was third, another five lengths be- hind. Parasang, which was not nominated for the major spring stakes—the Wood Memorial, Ken- tucky Derby and Preakness— splashed through the deep mud in 1:14 flat to win $3,750. Only six of the 100 horses weighted by Handicapper John S. Campbell at the end of the 1949 season on the basis of their ,avenile form went to the post. Woof Woof and Stagefright were scratched because of the miserable weather. Besides cutting the’ field, the driving rain and cold wind held the crowd down to 11,172 and the day's mutuel handle was only $492608. The starting field included three Kentucky Derby hopefuls, Flight Command, Merry Knight and Maro- gay. They also are eligible for the Preakness along with Straight Lead. Flight Command, top-weighted at 121 pounds, hurt his chances by breaking away and tossing his rider, Basil James. at the post. He was returned quickly, but never threatened Parasang, who broke on top and held a daylight lead all the way. Jockey Ira Hanford, who finished fourth on Marogay, was given a 10-day suspension, effective Thurs- Down the Stretch HAVRE DE GRACE, Md, April 20—With the $5,000 Harford Han- dicap apd the $15,000 Chesapeake | Da Stakes now a matter of history, horsemen, especially those with fast 2-year-olds in their barns, have turned their attention to the $2,500 Aberdeen Stakes to be run Wednes- day. Many horses, who afterward went on to win the Kentucky - Derby, have been victorious in the Aber- |deen. Best known of its winners since its inception in 1913 were George Smith, Paul Jones, Tip- pity Witchet, Single Foot, Rock Man and Vander Pool. The time record for the 4% furlongs is 0:53. It is held jointly by Single Foot, Rock Man and Bonanza, the last named the property of William Ziegler, jr., of Middleburg, Va. Eddie Smith, Washington veteran, is a touring jockey these days. He rode the final day of Bowie's meet- ing, jumped to New York and won & stake with the Millsdale Stable’s Airflame, then rushed back here. After donning silks one day, Smith lit out for Narragansett Park to ride Airflame today. Monday he returns here to accept mounts. Smith is riding in fine style. M. B.

Ahead by “three” at the quarter, half and into the stretch, Roman finished with an easy stride six lengths ahead of Bay Carse, which | wasn't named for the Derby. Ram- had the show horse ahead of Chatted. Though the track was muddy, Roman did his trick in 1:13% six lengths | passing under the wire, in 1:423;. The winner was a heavy favorite n! 40 cents to $1 and made a hearten- | ing showing for Danny Stewart, his trainer. Roman, in nine starts last‘ | year as a 2-year-old, won six races, | was second twice,-and unplaced one | time. Arab’s Arrow Wins Ben Ali. Arab's Arrow, Louisville-owned by Mrs. Louise J. Hickman, accounted for the Ben Ali Handicap and won $2,625 for his stable. It was snowing as they got away, with Arab’s Arrow setting the pace for half a mile. Then the favorite, Easy Mon, went to the front, but his heavy impost tired him as they turned into the stretch and the Arrow took command to win by half a length from the fast-closing Shot Put. The winner ran the 11/16 miles in 1:484; and paid $6.60 in the mutuels.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 20.—It's still Col. E. R. Bradley’s Bimelech against the fleld in the Kentucky Derby. If you check up on the records on the May 4 classic you'll learn Brad- ley’s chances of capturing his fifth Derby and increasing his Derby money earnings past the quarter-of- a-million mark. For one thing, the only previous time a Bradley-B was the winter- book favorite—Blue Larkspur in 1928—he came in fourth. Twice the master of -Idle Hour Farm has seen his starters the public choice. In 1926 the entry of Bubbling Over and Bagenbaggage, which finished one-two, went to the post a $1.90-to-$1 favorite. Three years later the entry of Blue Lark- spur and Bay Beauty went to the post a $1.71-to-$1 choice. Blue Larkspur had been the 7-to-1 winter-book pick. Bradley Record Impressive. Another factor against Bimelech is that no Belmont Puturity cham- pion ever won the Churchill Downs 1939 Belmont race. On the other hand, Col. Bradley has compiled a notable list of “firsts” in the Derby in the nearly 20 years his green-and-white silks have been carried in competition in the Na- tion’s premier 3-year-old event. He has won more Derbys than any other sportsman—four. He was the first to win two Derbys in succession—1932 and 1933. He was the first to see his entries finish one-two—twice, in 1921 and 926. These accomplishments have re- sulted in the legend of “Bradley luck.” But it takes good horses to win the Derby and the colonel has had them. king, Bradley has one of the great- est race horse prospects in Ameri- can history. Trainers, Breeders to Share. Six times the last son of Black Tony went to the post in 1939 and ing a total of $135.090. A Derby triumph would give him a leg on the hard-to-win “triple crown,” in- crease his total earnings by some $60,000 and put him in a position | to be a threat as the equine Rocke- feller.

To this will be added the take of $500 for each starting horse. For the first time trainers and breeders of the first three finishing horses are to share in the gold. Col. Bradley has been competing in the Derby since 1920 and, next to Col. Matt J. Winn, is virtually “Mr. Derby” himself. He has had starters every year since '20 with the exception of four—1928, 1931 and the last two years. In all, he has sent 26 horses to the post and 9 of them have finished in the money. His four firsts, three seconds, one third and one fourth have returned him a total of $215.800 in addition to $20,000 worth of gold cups. Colonel's Horses Pay Well. It has cost Bradley approximately $13500 in fees to start those 26 thoroughbreds. In aadition he has paid countless dollars to nominate horses that never started. The colonel’s victories generally have rewarded wagering supporters generously in the mutuels. In 1921 his entry of Behave Your- self and Black Servant, which fin- Ished one-two, paid $19.30 for a $2 win ticket. The 1926 entry returned | $5.80 straight; Burgoo King, 1932 winner, paid off at $1324 and Broker’s Tip, champion the follow= | Ing year, was worth $19.86. This is Col.

April 2 Almost before you know it you usually come from Benedict on the be the same this season. around May 1.

Enough said. At about the same time they start at Benedict the hardhead will be biting in the Honga River opposite Solomons. A week or two of that and as things gradually warm up, the fish move out into the bay until by late May you can catch them anywhere. Cape Charles Is Ready. The first of May seems to be an important date in the salt-water fishing world. Capt. Stanley Ben- nett of Cape Charles reports that he expects channel bass by that date, and from then on they will be run- ning until the last of September. If the weather holds up, they fish for both the big bass, and what they call black bonito until the middle of October, Smaller fish, such as blues, trout and mullet also are fa- verites around Cape Charles. Skipper Bennett's records from last year show that the bass run from 20 to 55 pounds or more and the bonito from 10 to 100 pounds. We have fished that spot occasionally and outside of the Carolinas believe it to be the best channel bass sec- tion along the coast. Many pound nets along the shore help attract the big fish. When they are cleaned out each morning the trash fish, such as toads and rays, are tossed overboard. These are carried down the tide past Cape Charles, making For Your Car Oldest Postiac | are operated by the same skippers | Shallow waters and oyster beds | cularly suited for spring fishing.

The first ones caught within hailing distance of Washington Patuxent River, and it probably will W. T. Shorter, who runs a restaurant and pier down at Benedict, writes that he expects hardhead+- a natural chum of food line which attracts the big fish. Good Fishing at Oregon. About the Carolinas and particu- larly Oregon Inlet, the most popu=- lar spot with Washington fishermen, the season definitely is open there. | They had bad weather most of last | week, but Capt. Wayland W. Baum of Wanchese reports one excellent catch. A party of four anglers from Portsmouth, Va., hooked 25 and landed 15 in six hours of fishing. That is a catch worth shouting about, particularly as the average weight was 35 pounds. Skipper Baum writes that there were thous- ands of the big red fish swimming on the surface and feeding on the bottom at the same time. Stand- ing in the boat he could see them darting about like gigantic minnows chasing the herring which go in and out the inlet. From this and other early season reports it looks a good year for Oregon Inlet and there are times down there when you pull in channel bass until your arms ache and the rod gets a permanent arc. In case you plan to go fishing in salt water, the fishing department keeps a file of boatmen and guides for all the main points along the coast and Chesapeake Bay. A phone call will get you the information as to how they may be reached, their rates and latest information from those points. New’s Towncraft o o 49 Sanforized Shrunk! Nu-Craft Non-Wilt Collars!
